Must Go!
Enjoyed it very much, original

by Spartacus2000

Limitless is limited, but intriguing, cool film to watch and when you add it all up, including the nifty twist at the end, you have a fun Hollywood film with good head on its shoulders....

I loved it... The main character is like Boston Legal's Denny Crain on adderall, mixed with Gordon Gecko from Wallstreet. Dinero getting out Dinero'd on screen?!?! Must see multiple times....
